Sumi-e is a Japanese monochrome painting. Simple black lines drawn on white paper can represent a complex model, just as in Zen, a few spoken words can be the result of many hours of meditation.

The task of the artist does not include a photographically accurate reproduction of reality, he discards everything that does not interest him. He depicts nature as it is drawn in his imagination, embodies its very essence. The artist keeps any images in his memory as he saw them.
Minimalism and understatement invites the viewer to co-creation, thus a dialogue is born between the artist and the viewer, where the viewer also acts as a creator, thinking out the elements of the composition.
